My guest today is Tex Cokley, a music producer and mixer in SW Washington state. He has been producing and mixing rock songs and albums for bands for the last 15 years. As a musician, he is versed in different instruments and works with many studio musicians. 

I met Tex and his friend Alex at NAMM a couple of years ago when they came to our first Recording Studio Rockstars meetup. I always love connecting with fans of the podcast aka the Rockstars and Tex is definitely one of them. He has a great rock band called Opticus and balances recording with a busy career as an electrician. His enthusiasm and dedication to making records and attending NAMM each year and the fact that Recording Studio Rockstars is able to help fans like Tex make great records inspires me to make this show and keep bringing you interviews every week. Tex’s credits include powerful rock bands like Forever Dethroned, Rust and Chrome, and Opticus which you can hear in the playlist.
